Tiger’s Eye General Information
Tiger’s Eye is a variety of Quartz that exhibits a fascinating and constantly shifting light effect. The alternating silky gold and brown bands keep reversing their appearance with the slightest change in the position of the light source or the stone. This effect is caused by the parallel intergrowth of quartz crystals and altered amphibole fibers that mostly turned into limonite.
Tiger’s Eye is widely used as an ornamental and lapidary rock.
